Others from the thread, but who knows when....
There's a more strategic image showing the relationship with Hunsbury Hill due to the mass abandonment of IA weapons and quern stones at what appears to be an ideal British rally point:

I hope that helps.... from my point of view a there is enough to instigate a thorough search of the valley and then unpick troop dispositions should there be any appropriate finds... a securely dated battlefield with finds would probably have us re-writing chapters about what we know about how such battles were prosecuted. the position at the top of the ridge, on the face of the slope or the base of the slope will vary subtly between interpreters and the passing of the day. I am comfortable to place the Romans on the ridge top, on the east facing slope at the head of the valley, but equally content if contact were made on the valley floor. I don't think we can have a hard and fast position on that with the material we have to hand.
Thanks for the input on the foricibus, it seems too subtle a point to force any change in this topographic approach but appreciated for future reference....
